Camo is one of the most important elements in the outdoors. It plays a major factor in whether you have a good or bad hunt and that creates a demand for quality, effective and extraordinary camo. Wildlife artist, an avid hunter, and Prym1 Camo Founder Stacie Walker, uses her artistic sense in bringing camouflage to another level. With a solid understanding of the textures of nature and organic patterns of wildlife, she created a camo with the effectiveness of a predator. This episode goes deep into the applications of camouflage and hunting strategies from the mind of an artist.

PRYM1- Extraordinary Camo Created By Stacie Walker
We’re heading down to Tennessee. We’re going to connect with Stacie Walker. She is the CEO of Prym1 Camo. Stacie, welcome to the show.
Thank you. I’m glad to be on it.
I’m excited when we connected on LinkedIn. Stacie’s got a great story. You’re going to know about how and why she started Prym1 and where she’s taking this brand. From everything I’ve seen, it’s interesting and it’s different. She’s going to do well with it. Stacie, why don’t you tell us why you started Prym1 Camo?
Being a hunter, a wildlife artist and seeing the struggle of going out to different terrains in different areas of the country trying to hunt species, you don’t always blend in. I thought, “There’s got to be a solution to this problem.” I grasp from my knowledge of being a wildlife artist that, “Why does a predator in the wild blend into the surroundings so well?” When you take any predator and they are masters of camouflage, I thought, “There’s got to be something to that.” I’m a detailed wildlife artist. I put all the details in and I noticed that it all has to do with how the spots, pattern, and details of the pattern are broken up using natural highlights, shadows, and tones that are found in nature. I did this hybrid version. You look at the pattern you’ll see aspects of leopard spots, feathers, cracked earth, and different elements that you find in the earth that help it to break up.
One key thing that I’ve noticed as an artist and a hunter is that a lot of the camo on the market shy away from whites and light areas. I always use the example of if you’re sitting in a tree stand, you’re looking up through the tree canopy. You notice that the light fragments through the leaves and through the branches. It creates a stippling effect. This is what breaks up an outline so I tried to achieve a level of depth and broken up stippling effect by having a balance of lights and darks, but I didn’t do it all in one size element. I wanted to have various size elements. That way, if I’m up close to you, I’m still breaking up. Yet, if I backed up, I’ve got larger elements that are creating a breakup as well of the outline. That was the whole. It’s one thing to design something, be an artist and knowing your head that is supposed to work. To find out that it does work is completely different. It’s a gratifying feeling.
How long have you been in business?
We are a couple of years old. I first debuted Prym1 Camo at the ATA show in 2016.
You still painted the lights and I can see it on in the house.
I’ve got a painting that I started in the background. It’s a lab sitting in a dug blind. It’s what I would consider the Crayola kindergarten school painting stage because I probably have about two hours into it. I’ve got a lot of detail that I like to put into my work. I’m OCD about that thing. I was a medical illustrator for several years going into surgery drawing so I’m finicky on having all the details in the anatomy correct stuff like that.
You’re a CEO and also an accomplished wildlife painter. Where do you find the time to do all this?
I don’t go to sleep. I stay up and I work every day. When you own a business and you’re trying to get something going, you have to be 100% committed. It means you are there where the book stops and starts. You have to be the one driving it. You have to have the passion and the go to do it. It’s hard work but it’s probably the most gratifying feeling I’ve ever had. Being both a wildlife artist and a hunter, to marry the two together and be able to call it a job, is a beautiful thing.
One thing I noticed is that you support kids fantastically with Prym1. Where does that come from?
I have two sons. One is twenty years old in college and the other one is seventeen. We’re an outdoors family. I’ve grown up that way. I’m from South Louisiana. I grew up duck hunting and deer hunting with my dad. In the summertime, we would saltwater fish. When my kids got into the whole high school fishing scene and the hunting, I wanted to encourage them. I’ve got one of my boys pushing for Bethel University Fishing team which is top ranked in the country and I’ve got my youngest one that’s fishing high school circuit. I could have gone to the corporate direction, but I decided that it wasn’t the way I wanted to go. I wanted to go grassroots. I wanted to interact with the kids and with the teams.
We’ve got all of Florida, Texas, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Ohio, Arkansas, part of Tennessee and part of Louisiana that the high school fishing organizations are on board with us. As our program progresses to where we support them, give them help with scholarship prizes, and various contests that we do to stay interacting with the kids. You’re going to see Prym1 fishing jerseys running around all over the place during the fishing season. We also sponsor Bethel.
Let’s talk about camouflage fishing and I’m not going to say that I’ve got some experience with fly fishing, extensively. From your point of view, why is it important to have some camo on or have your shirts at least camouflage?
It’s a family affair around here. Taking tournament angling seriously is an understatement. Living on Pickwick Lake and me being from South Louisiana. You get into areas where you’ve got a bright sunshiny day, your bed fishing and those fish can see you from way far off. When a fish is looking up, they see fragmented images. I don’t know if you’ve ever gone underwater in a pool and when you look up, everything is fragmented. The effect you’re trying to create with camouflage when you put it on fishing apparel is you’re trying to fragment your outline. That fish looking at you up through the water sees a broken-up outline. Whereas, if you’re in a solid form, it makes it a lot easier to see you as what you are.
That’s why scuba divers have gotten into wearing wetsuits that are in camouflage. You see all the blue tones, they try to mimic the lines, and break up that waves created. Anything that will break your outline up on a cloudy day. You can wear this not only in a ground blind hunting, but I can wear this in fishing. The fragmented appearance of a garment is going to help you to get in closer to those bedding fish or if you’re bonefishing down in South Florida, you can see the water clear as day. It helps in redfishing. I’m a huge saltwater fishing from back in my day of living in Louisiana. The more that you could sneak up on them floundering, the better you had a chance of catching them.
I remember when I was fishing a lot that we have to get out of the water and kneel down. We had to hide. The current water was so clear that the fish knew you were there and you had to figure out how not to do it. If you stood up, it’s all over.
We’ve got a huge presence in Europe and their big into carp fishing over there. They fish from the banks and it even translates well. They have taken camouflaging to a new level even more in fishing in Europe than in hunting because they understand that those fish see them on the bank. It helps to be able to be a more effective fisherman. It’s a worldwide thing.
We’re not talking about whitetails but it’s the whole package that Stacie’s pulling together. In all aspects of what you’re doing whether your waterfowl hunting, fly fishing or spinner fishing, it doesn’t matter if you’re fishing some of the salt flats or pulling. All of a sudden, the fish, permits, boom fish, and carps can see you. They know you’re there unless you break up your image. What does that look like? It looks like camouflage that Prym1 has developed.
That’s right. We want to be a lifestyle brand. Camouflage has become a part of everybody’s lifestyle. It’s not just found for hunting in, it’s on every aspect. Everybody claims I’m the only woman in the world that has the camouflage pattern that’s being marketed to the masses. I wanted it to be an attractive looking pattern. I wanted it to be where you looked at it like, “That’s cool. What is that?” Whether you’re a hunter, fisherman or just hiking in the woods. I even have it presented in the furniture industry and it’s being spun off as a hybrid animal. I am totally great with that. The reality is the inventors of camouflage besides God himself were the animals. They are the ones that started camouflage. That’s where we got all of this from. For me, to be able to take a design of my pattern at Prym1 and be able to apply it in any direction is where I get satisfaction because I know that it’s applicable in various areas.
Let’s share your website URL with our readers. Tell people where they can see your whole product line.
Predators are masters of camouflage. Share on XThat’s the misconception a lot of people have. I have no product that I carry on our web store, CrossPowerStore.com. I don’t manufacture the apparel. I have licensees that I purchased some of our products from so I can in turn offer to Pro Staff, my TV show guys, and Pro Fishing guys. I have a rigid opinion about not wanting to compete with the people I license my pattern to. I’m big on partnering with people, partnering with companies, and wanting to help them succeed because if they succeed, I succeed. If I’m licensed with Burris Optics and they’re putting out a new scope or world-famous sports who’s got the clothing line, I’m not going to go out and try to compete with them. I’m active in trying to do that.
If you want to look at the clothing that we have and we offer through our licensees, you go to CrossPowerStore.com. Otherwise, we’ll have a lot of products hitting the market. A lot of people realized that it takes one to one-and-a-half good years for products to hit the market from conception to reality. We’ll have Mojo Sportswear that will be releasing fishing apparel in effect. We have Frogg Toggs that released their Pilot Series Rain Suit that will be coming out. You can go and get a lot of these by pre-order on their website. It will be hitting retail stores. There’s a lot of exciting stuff coming.
The reason I mentioned that is because you had shared with me Prym1Camo.com where I saw a lot of your patterns.
That’s our main website and they do have a clicker button where you can then get to the store site. If you want to see all of the full range of colors and variations in our color patterns, details, our pros and who we’re partnered with, Prym1Camo.com is definitely where you want to go.
Thanks for that. I’d like that one picture of a guy who’s fly fishing and he had your puffer jacket on.
That’s some of my Pro Staff over in the UK. I’ve got the director Dan Beardsmore of my website and my marketing. He lives in the UK and got a phenomenal eye for the camera and for video. He’s gotten some outstanding footage and images from over there. It’s fun to be involved in the global market because when we’re not hunting, we’re all bored because it’s not hunting season. We’re going to try to catch fish, they’re in the middle of their hunting season. It gives a good trade-off that we’ve always got something exciting to look at on our website because he keeps it fresh and rotating. He keeps everything updated and he’s in the middle of building and adding to it because we’re growing fast. He’s having a double step on adding in our tactical page, our pros page, and all that stuff. We have grown into years and we’ve got nine TV shows. We’ve got three Bass Elite Pros and four FLW Pros. We got a couple of Costa guys and we’ve got a lot going on.
When you say you have them, are you supporting them or are they part of your business?
They are wearing our camouflage. We have nine fully rigged rangers, skeeters, various bass boats and shrubs that will be wrapped in our camouflage. I can’t give a bunch of names because we haven’t released the information yet on several of them. We’ve got some good guys on board and they’re going to be wearing their jerseys through all the tournaments. The whole nine yards and they are officially Prym1 Camo team members. The same thing with our TV shows. We picked up The American Archer with Tom Nelson and Outdoor America with Joe Thomas. We’ve got several others but between the fishing, hunting shows, and the pros, we’re putting a lot of emphasis on marketing.
That’ll drive product sales, obviously.
That’s going to drive brand awareness and hopefully, that’ll promote more products hitting the market which is my goal.
There are thousands of people reading this. Someone out there will say, “I’d like to get into the business and I’d like to create something.” What are the five things that you better be ready to do or don’t even start the process?
You better unconditionally love your idea and what you’re going to do with it. You better be prepared to work more than you ever thought you were. You have to eat, sleep, breathe, and live it. If you don’t have the passion for pushing what you’re trying to promote, it will never succeed. You have to show people the passion you have behind what you’re doing for them to buy into it. It’s going to take a lot of work. It’s not all peaches and cream and perfect days. It is an extremely tough industry to get into. I don’t care what you’re going into business doing. I’ve come from a long family line of father and grandfather than husbands that own multiple businesses. You have to be 100% committed. You have to work at it like your life depends on it because you are the bottom line. It doesn’t succeed unless you drive it. It’s one of those things that do your homework. What the markets out there look like for what you’re trying to do.
I would say that the hunting industry in previous years has completely and utterly changed. Not just hunting but retail in general. It is a completely different animal. It is tight and hard. What used to be the norm and the way things went years ago is not the case now. You have to be thinking out of the box. You have to be flexible to shift and move which is the good thing about me being in multiple directions with the camouflage pattern because the hunting industry retail-wise is in horrible shape. To combat that you have to be flexible and be willing to tough it out. You better be financially ready before you start a business and decide, “I want to go into business for myself,” because it will take it from you. It is not an easy road but it’s a gratifying road.
It’ll be a few years since we launched Whitetail Rendezvous. There’s not a lot of cash outlet but it’s the grind and you have to stay after it. That would be my two cents. If you start, there’s going to be days that you say, “Why am I doing this?” There are days you’re going to get run over and it gets ugly. If you stay after it, in three to five years, people tell you, “You’re an overnight success,” then laugh at him.
I tease everyone and I say, “If the door doesn’t open, kick it in, go through the window or climb through the roof. Do whatever you got to do to make it happen.” My long-term goal is that within a few years, I want to be number three, four camo in the world. I don’t expect ever to bump two big guys off the top, but I’d be happy with three or four. You have to have goals and you have to set parameters. You have to break your neck to go after it and if you’re not that serious, don’t go into business for yourself. That’s what I would tell anyone.
What are your secrets in your European connection that’s already established? In my mind, that’s smart because there’s a lot of people outside of the United States and Canada that hunt and fish.
I don’t have the exact numbers so I’m not going to put numbers but per capita, there are more waterfowl hunters in France alone than all of the United States hunters combined. European countries comprise a larger percentage of hunters than in the US. We’re in our bubble and we think we’re the only ones that hunt. There is another world out there and they have many hunters. It’s unreal. If you go to Germany, to Nuremberg in March and you go walk the IWA Show, it will blow your mind. The number of hunters that are out there is mind-boggling.
I have a friend in Muzzle Force One and he’s got one client distributor licensee. I don’t exactly know but he’s in Europe. That guy sells double in Europe than what he sells here.
It’s a unique market. They handle it in a different way. I love it. They’re big on the heritage of why you hunt. They take it seriously and they’re respectful of the animals. It’s a tradition and they keep it at such a high standard. To be able to get into that lifestyle, heritage, and be accepted is a huge accomplishment. My most prized accomplishment so far with what I’m doing is that they have embraced it and it will have some big news coming at IWA. I can’t say out loud but it’s going to be a big unveiling.
That’s in Nuremberg. Is that correct?
That’s correct. We’ve got a lot coming. Windham Weaponry has gotten on board. We have Frogg Toggs and Burris Optics. We’re talking to Taurus right now. We’ve got AES Optics for pugs eyewear and Styx River doing mat. If you want stencils for your duck boats, they’re doing that. We’ve got Skyline USA that does guard dog security, taser flashlights, and bulletproof backpacks. We’ve got some fun stuff out there. Kimlor bedding with the Throws Academy that is awesome. A lot of different companies going on board. We have some huge meetings scheduled for Shot Show and if half of them pan out, it’ll be phenomenal.
When do you expect to be cashflow positive?
Camouflage has become a part of everybody’s lifestyle. It’s not just found for hunting. It’s on every aspect. Share on XI try to run a tight, small ship. I’ve got a director of licensing, a director of marketing and beyond that. The rest is my nut. I’m trying to take on the world and I’ve got 1,300 Pro Staff that are good about helping me field test the garments and the camouflage and giving me feedback. I’ve got my Pro guys and TV shows, but I run a tight ship and it’s my goal to turn it. I’ve got the momentum going, the ball is rolling and I want to push it on up over the other side of the hill and watch it take off. It’s going to be a pentacle year for that.
Malcolm Gladwell talks about The Tipping Point. I don’t know if you’ve ever read his book.
I heard about it but I haven’t read it.
It’ll be a good book for you to read because you’re right there.
I can feel like I’m on that hearing on that top. I just got to kick it over which I’m all good with it.
There are 1,300 people in your Pro Staff. Do they buy a product from you? How does all that work?
What I do is I give them a deep discount and they purchase a product from me. I have some of my affiliated licensees like Frogg Toggs and Engel Coolers that will partner up and I give them discount as well. It’s encouraging them to, “Take this out in the field. Try it and see what you think.” My TV guys and my Fishing Pros, I give them all their stuff and say, “Run with it,” and it’s done well. If you see all the images on Facebook, on social media, and on our website, there are pictures from in the field not doctored. That is straight from the source all over the country and all over the world.
We have every single state covered like Canada. We even have a guy in Hawaii and a couple of military guys hunting in. We’ve much tried the pattern everywhere and have been extremely excited and pleased. I’ve got people in Germany, Denmark, Russia, Switzerland, and all over the place that have gotten camo from us. Either I’ve sent it to them that, “Here. Go test it. Tell me what you think,” or they purchased it in Australia, so far, the consensus has been effective. I’ve had some of our guys saying that they were in Texas filming and we’re able to get within ten feet of some whitetail deer on the ground. Which blows my mind that they were able to get that close that they were able to kill a red stag with an airgun wearing my camo on the ground. That makes me proud when I hear that. Like when your kids do something and accomplish something, you’re like, “It works. All my hard efforts are paying off,” as far as seeing it perform as it should.
What was the last piece of gear that you bought? Why did you buy it?
The last piece of gear that I bought since I started the camo company is my backpack. That’s a little mid-sized pack by World Famous Sports in Sandstorm. I love this thing and I drug it all over the mountainside in Colorado for elk hunting. It was a perfect size to hold just enough of what I needed. My other big splurge and it’s not got camo on it. I’m getting a custom scope built by Burris Optics for my new .300 Win Mag and carbon check arms. Down in Miami, Florida is building me a custom fluted barrel. The whole nine yards composite stuff. The whole gun is going to weigh less than four pounds and special .300 Win Mag for me to go elk hunting. I’m excited about that one.
I live in Colorado. Where do you hunt?
We go over to the Grand Mesa to Mesa, Colorado. I hunt with Jeff Miner. He runs COAGS Guide School. It’s awesome. I hunted with Jeff for several years. I love the depth. It’s rugged hunting. It is not your walk in the park. They’re going to run past you. You don’t even know what you’re going to get into or how far you’re going to have to go to get into it. We hunt hundreds of thousands of acres of public land. We’re not going hiking and cushy areas. We’re hoofing it. At one point, I sat down on the side of the mountain and wanted to cry because it was intense. He’s like, “You’re going to cross over the two rockslides.” I thought, “You’re crazy. I’m carrying a high-powered rifle.” These are not little rocks. These are giant boulders and I thought, “I am going to fall through the cracks.” I survived though and I was better for the wear after but during it, it was rough. Jeff sat and laughed on the mountain with me because he knew I was about fit to be tied on that one. It was an awesome operation out there and one of the beautiful things about is we’re partnered officially with him.
He runs a program where if you are a veteran military guy, you’ve got your GI Bill, you come back and you don’t want to go to college, but you love the outdoors. He has a guide school that will certify you for fly fishing and hunting any species. The whole nine yards camp set up and they get to use their GI Bill to pay for it. It’s an awesome thing. Besides sponsoring and helping kids, the other big passion that we have at Prym1 is supporting our military. That is not even a question. The military guys that called me, I will bend over backward for them. We have several bags outdoors that we sponsor. The Team Halo, the Hookset Brothers, these organizations take wounded veterans out to hunt and fish. They are active. We do a lot of with wounded warriors. We’re big into supporting our veterans, our military and, our kids. Even though we have officially got a Prym1 Shooting Team. They’re going to be competing in one of the major circuits in the military. They’re going to be doing long-range shooting, gas-operated, and bolt-action. One of the categories and one of my dear friends, retired sergeant major, got three guys, a three-man team. We also have a couple of shotgun shooting guys. We’re trying to give back and support in lots of different directions besides us getting out and doing those activities.
I’d love to hear more about your Colorado hunt. Let’s talk about whitetail.
We huff it for five days looking for the elk. I didn’t get a mule deer tag. I wanted to go strictly after the elk and it seems like every corner we tried, we saw a mule deer. Far from the course, when you’re not looking and you don’t have the tag for that animal, that’s the one you’re going to see the most. We did see a lot of cow elk. We didn’t have any bulls come upon us and I had gone out to the range. I was well prepared with my .300 Win Mag. I hit the gun at 420 yards and I hit at 600 yards. I was not afraid to pull the trigger no matter 1000 yards out there hiding but he didn’t show up. He didn’t participate but it was okay. We had a beautiful hunt. I saw some bears and some mousse. It’s an awesome, a beautiful area, and a rugged country.
Let’s talk about prepping for a Colorado, Rocky Mount or any place from Canada all the way down to New Mexico. What is the couple of things you would say?
You better be able to do a lot of walking and climbing. It will test you. I’ve been busy with the business that I was not up to par this year, but I survived. It’s rigorous training. If you’re using a ground blind, you’re going to have a hard time unless you go after it. You have to pack light. You have to be able to carry water. That’s key. You must carry at least a liter of water for you every day that you’re out there. That pack is essential and I had a flashlight, knife, water bottle, and my puffy down jacket that you fold it up, the one we have that packs into the pocket, and you shove it in your backpack. You do not wear it walking in because you will be sweating. You put it on after because it’s going to get colder as you go up that mountain. I have a three-layer softshell jacket and pants that World Famous Sports makes that’s phenomenal. It comes off the ski slopes from the sea factories. It’s waterproofing but and it’s got a little bit of a harder surface on the outside. It’s not super quiet but when you’re stalking, it doesn’t matter.
You can tear through scrub oak like nobody’s business. I had bruises on my leg from branches slapping me and everything else trying to crawl through all this scrub oak of finding the mountain. I never once had a hole in my pants at all. It’s the toughest stuff ever and you better have gloves because those scrub oaks are some mean little bushes and they’re not that small. It looks small when you stand up on the top of that mountain but when you get down in them, it’s a whole other world. You feel like you’re on a foreign planet. We did a video plowing through it to show how tough it is to get and you better have a good swing because there’s no such thing as carrying your gun your hand. You got to have that thing slum. It was part of the reason why I’m getting a lighter gun. You better pack light because whatever you carry your butt carries in. You got to carry out and it’s a whole lot harder on the way back than it is going in.
How about techniques? You’ve mentioned stalking. I don’t know if you mentioned ground blind. What did you guys do? Spot and stalk?
When we do elk hunting, we spot and stalk. We’re hunting miles of public land that will walk a minimum of six to fifteen miles a day. You might be going all day. You never know. You know how it is. They are so fast. They can cover so much ground. By the time you see them, you’re trying to get from point A to point B, and you’re going down the mountainside. They can be ten miles away from you before you shake a stick. My guide is awesome about knowing where they’ve been seeing, what they’re doing, and where they’re trending. We go after them. We’re not hunting private land where you got the luxury of sitting in a ground blind, like whitetail hunting. We always do that in whitetail hunting but for big game hunting out west, we stalk.
Let’s give the readers some of your tips or techniques about whitetail hunting.
I always joke with my boys because they’re gung-ho about it. I’m not an archery hunter. I’d rather sling lead. That’s just me. Kudos to all of you whitetail archery hunters. You better try to get whitetails at the beginning of the season before that first shots cracked off and hit the woods hard. I don’t do a lot of falling. I don’t believe it. In our area, it’s effective. The biggest key that most people don’t emphasize in whitetail hunting is that, if you are serious about managing up herding and you’re in an area where you can somewhat do that, you have got to maintain your doe population. There is no worst photo in your hunting season than having too many does on the ground. It’s about a two to one ratio or four to one ratio, max. A couple of years back, we had so many does. We lease this one chunk of land close to the house and there were too many of does.
Starting a business is not an easy road but it’s a gratifying road. Share on XBetween the acorns on the ground and the readily available supplies of water in Tennessee, all they had to do was get up and eat. They didn’t have to go anywhere. At the beginning of the season, you better be in the woods and when it gets going, you better take some does out. They eat great. We eat probably ten a year. That’s going to help your buck population because they’re going to have to get up, move and go after the does. When the late season comes, once the spot shots have been fired off on them, the big ones go dark. They come out at night and your only chance is when they’re running a doe. My husband shot a good one and he had his head down. He was dogging her, he whistled, made all kinds of a racket to get him to stop that deer and never checked up. He kept on and he had to pick a spot between the tree limbs and wait for his head to pop in that spot to get him.
They have one thing on their minds at that point. The season’s winding down and it closed. It was tough. We had a lot of rain. The does were coming out in the field. Bucks were hanging back until late at night. I’m big on food plots and you cannot discredit feeding year-round. Having mineral salt licks and having food plots. They’re going to go find food. If you don’t have it on your spot, they’re going to go find somewhere else. To keep them on your spot, you better have it. It’s a lot of preparation because that’s the determining factor. When we lived in Mississippi, we had a place for several years that we just trophy manage them. We had to sell it because we moved too far away, but we had it. It was some jam uppers coming out of it now and we’re friends with the people that bought it. It’s incredible to see the effort does pay off.
If you want to give shout outs to your company, you can have it.
Be on the lookout for us. If you go to Academy Sports, we’ve got our awesome throw blankets that are super. They got the Sherpa on one side and the camo on the other side. They’re 50% off so it’s a great buy. It’s $14.99 through Academy Sports. Those are by Kimlor bedding. We’ve got our taser flashlights that are in the stores in Academy that are phenomenal. For all you kayakers, be on the lookout for the kayak paddles in four of the different Prym1 patterns and Dick’s Sporting Goods. Dunham’s has been known to carry our backpacks. Bob Ward’s always carries stuff. I’m not sure where all the apparel is going to land. Also, Mojo Sportswear, be on the lookout. If you’re on the fishing side of the equation, we’ve got a bunch of cool fishing shirts coming out with my artwork on it. I’ve got one that’s got a sea turtle that’s going to be cool for the summertime. There’s a lot of exciting stuff coming up. If you want to wrap your truck, your boat or anything like that, I’ve got guys that do the wrapping, the hydrographic dipping of your guns, and all that stuff. Shoot me an email and go to our website. I’m happy to answer any questions and be on the lookout for us in the stores and on TV.
What is your email address, please?
My email is [email protected] and the website is www.Prym1Camo.com.
Stacie, it’s been a joy to talking to you. A lady that’s driven. That’s one thing the whole thing came out. You go through the door, roof, and window. It doesn’t matter. You’re going to get her done it.
You never take no for an answer unless they emphatically tell you no.
On behalf of thousands of readers across North America, we all wish you well and I can’t wait to see what’s coming on.
Thank you. I appreciate you having me on.

There’s a young man from Colorado who now is a nurse out in Nebraska. Tyler Preszler is his name. He is from a family that started hunting when he’s five or six years old. All his first game was taken right from the home ranch. That’s special to him because it gave him the tradition of hunting that he couldn’t get anyplace else. He’d wake up some frosty morning and before 500 head of elk in the back pasture. With tradition like that, he’s been able to hunt a lot of different places and he looks forward to his next adventure. Tyler’s got some great stories and great lessons learned so enjoy the show.

About Prym1
Prym1 was created by a wildlife artist who understands depth, colors, shadows and highlights seen in nature, utilizing organic shapes found in predators’ coats to design a hybrid camouflage pattern that takes versatility to an entirely new level of concealment.
Not only will Prym1 conceal your outline and movement in all terrains, but will effectively blend in creating a false depth perception from your prey allowing you to be closer than you appear and therefore a more effective predator! https://www.prym1camo.com/
After years of being a professional wildlife artist as well as an avid hunter, my job has been to study the specific patterns and textures of animals in nature and to mimic them in my art.
Years of this study led me to develop Prym1 camo, which uses the colors and textures of nature with the organic patterns of wildlife to create a camo with the effectiveness of a predator. Stacie Walker
The hunter does not always stay stationary. A hunter moves across diverse terrains, and through changing backgrounds of foliage, which is often influenced by light and shadows. Let’s face it trees and brush do not move, and they stand out as solid objects from a distance.
Traditional “sticks and leaves” camouflage will often fail because they tend to become solid forms and “Black Out”, therefore revealing the shape of the hunter which eliminates the purpose of the stalk. Digital, static, and hard line shape blurred camo works good at distance for outline break up in various terrains, but is not effective as distance is closed as it lacks depth, highlights, and shadowing.
